Description

We have a few of this Cape River Crabs living in our little stream that runs through our property. Sometimes they go out at night and move into our swimming pool. It's quiet a mission to fetch them, but finally we always manage to remove them and release them back into our little river.

They used to be very common in the area, but due to more housing developments and cutting down big trees we can only see them occationally. This picture was taken right in front of our bedroom here at Littlewood Garden.

Description

The African Black Oystercatcher is native to the mainland coasts and offshore island of South Africa up to Angola.
There are estimated to be over 6.000 birds in total and according to the IUCN List the conservation status is NT (near threatened).
We are very lucky to see them almost every time when we walk on the beach or along the Knysna Lagoon.
